One of the electric bass’s most enduring styles, the Fret-King® Perception™ has been the instrument of choice for independent thinking bass players for nearly three decades.

The enduring style, superb balance, comfort and feel of the Perception are exactly what works, with a contemporary twist that remains friendly and comfortable the Perception Custom has it all.

The selected American alder body, with bookmatched flame maple front features an extended neck joint which all coalesce to maintain the Perception Custom’s elegance and purity of line, and ensure the foundations of a constructional integrity which provides strength, superb resonance, amazing sustain and a truly epic bass tone.
